Comparison of Mean Platelet Volume Values between Patients with Nasal Polyp and Healthy Individuals

Objective:Nasal Polyp (NP) and Allergic Rhinitis (AR) are frequently seen in common. It has been reported that there is an increase in the risk of atherosclerosis in allergic patients. In our study, we aimed to evaluate Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) values in patients with NP, which is used as a marker...

description Objective:Nasal Polyp (NP) and Allergic Rhinitis (AR) are frequently seen in common. It has been reported that there is an increase in the risk of atherosclerosis in allergic patients. In our study, we aimed to evaluate Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) values in patients with NP, which is used as a marker of atherosclerosis.Methods:Seventy-five patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) with a diagnosis of NP were reviewed. Seventy-five age-matched healthy individuals without AR made up the control group. Values of white blood cell (WBC), platelet (PLT), hemoglobilin (Hb) and MPV were evaluated.Results:MPV values were found to be low in patients with NP 7.89±1.02 fL compared to control group 8.32±1.42 fL. This finding was statistically significant.Conclusion:It was found that MPV values are significantly low in patients with NP than control group.
